USDA to Unveil New Kid's Food Pyramid

Link: http://mypyramid.gov/

USDA this coming weekend will unveil its new food pyramid for pre-schoolers (aged 2-5 years old). The idea is to get parents thinking about what type of foods their youngsters need based on age, gender, and activity level. The site, MyPyramid.gov, even offers "real-life" strategies on how to introduce new foods to kids. The program also weighs heavily on eating together as a family, to make the experience more fun and less stressful for kids.

Will this new program help parents make wiser, healthier food choices for their pre-schoolers? What do you think?
